Comments on: Michael Moore In Trouble For Cuba Trip

Treasury Investigation; Moore Took Sept. 11 Workers To Banned Island For Treatment

It would be nice to have a subsidized health care system along side the private system, and make them compete! One of the most ridiculous arguments against a fedrally subsidized HMO is the association of that to the opperations of the U.S. Postal Service. That arguement is obviously made by those who do not understand anything about the U.S.P.S. In fact, the U.S.P.S. opperates very efficiently, considering their level of daily volume. Also, the U.S. Postal Service competes very nicely against the likes of FedEx, DHL, and UPS, and neither of those have the volume that the U.S.P.S. handles on a daily basis, COMBINED! (Even with the increased rates in postage).

Imagine if there was no U.S. Postal Service. The cost to simply mail a slim envelope of anything would be astronomical! It would be well over the rate of a single postage stamp that we take for granted now.

And, America without a subsidized health care option for lower income Americans, has allowed the private system to collude and gouge every American who relies on basic health care when they need it most.

With Michael Moore's reputation, I feel that this latest documentary "Sicko" will unfortunately be rejected by many who don't associate themselves with the politics he shares.

And that's sad because I'm sure his latest documentary will expose many of the facts and truths that anyone, of any political color, would be able to relate to.

The problems of the health care industry have transcended multiple presidential administrations, and have been fixed by none of them. It is unlikely for a full Democratic Congress and Presidential Administration to improve the situation, (if such a scenario exists after 2008).

A subsidized health care option for people should exist, but free market health care should also exist along side the federal system as well! It works in Canada, and statistics have proven that more Canadians are chosing private health care over the government system. However, the Canadian government health care system is better than nothing for the lower income citizens who cannot afford the private system.

The irony is that Government policy only helps Castro.

Regardless, who really cares if Moore went to Cuba - it's not like he invaded Iraq based on lies and deception or is responsible for the deaths of countless civilians.

It's funny though - Osama Bin Laden still hasn't been indicted for September 11, but the Treasury Dept will waste resources investigating his trip to Cuba.

Heck, they should just watch his movie when it comes out.

They'll know all about his trip then.

"The only problem I've ever had with Michael is that he's just a bit too far to the right for my political taste."

That's a first! Michael Moore accused of being "a bit too far to the right...", wow!

Well, Randal, I know you've admitted to being a Liberal, your opinions reflect that, and that's fine. But I just don't see Michael Moore's politics being anything close to Conservative, or even moderate. (Yes, I have watched his documentaries).

"otherwise we will all be under six feet of earth".... Reality check, drinuk. Will watching this film bring you immortality? I think even with the benefit of Mr. Moore's latest insightful propoganda, he too will eventually find himeself "under six feet of earth". No governmental health care system in the world can protect you from reality.

Go Moore Go!

Thank heavens for open criticsm and opinions!

Bravo Mr. Moore!

[drinuk]

Let us hope that Moore has the wit and courage to blow the Big Pharma/FDA and government corruption apart. Someone has to have the "Balls" to do it soon, otherwise we will all be under six feet of earth.

Give 'em hell Michael!

The only problem I've ever had with Michael is that he's just a bit too far to the right for my political taste. Other then that I salute him from one middle aged slightly overweight liberal from Michigan to another!

Stay strong man! The only reason the right wing hates you is because you keep exposing their hypocrisy and they can't face the truth about their sleazy ways or the even sleazier ways of their so called "leaders"! Well SCR*EW 'EM! Just keep on telling the truth and don't let the bas*tards wear you down!
